Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

Batter Mixing

  1. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine.

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients while whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. It should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for precision.

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
